Three Pakistanis convicted of murdering Scottish boy
2006-11-09
A Scottish court on Wednesday convicted three Pakistanis of kidnapping and murdering a white schoolboy, whom they stabbed repeatedly and set on fire, and jailed them for at least 22 years each. The three had fled to Pakistan following the brutal March 15, 2004, killing of 15-year-old Kriss Donald, before they were arrested and sent back to Britain last year in a special deal in the absence of an extradition treaty. A jury at the High Court in Edinburgh took almost eight hours to convict Imran Shahid (29), his brother Zeeshan Shahid (28) and Mohammed Faisal Mushtaq (27). Following the intervention of a Scottish politician, authorities in Pakistan handed the men over to Britain for questioning in October last year after their arrest several months earlier. The British High Commission in Islamabad said at the time it was the first case of its kind because Pakistan had no formal extradition agreement with Britain, and had only been able to act after lengthy talks and a change in the law.

#4  At least they can have 22 years where they can be someone's bendover toy in prison. Since Europwimps don't like the death penalty this is the best we can hope for.

#3  It doesn't require jihadists or jihadist mullahs. The constant drumbeat of superiority and devaluation of the kufr as written in the koran and taught in muslim societies lowers the barriers to acts ranging from children stoning the kufr all the way to rape and murder. It no longer becomes a matter of right and wrong (it's always right), but will they get get caught and punished by the kufr.

Speaking of cattle to market, read koran chapter 2, The Cow for a glimpse into what a muslim is supposed to think of you.

#2  I'd like to open discussion as to whether endless spewing by jihadists like abu Hamza, telling British Muslims that non-Muslims are "cattle that can be taken to market", played a part in making this a terrorist act as well.

Chicken/egg dilemma, Zen.

#1  Fred, I've posted this up in the WoT section as I believe that this was more than just a "race" or "hate" crime. I'd like to open discussion as to whether endless spewing by jihadists like abu Hamza, telling British Muslims that non-Muslims are "cattle that can be taken to market", played a part in making this a terrorist act as well. My article also contains one or two other details not mentioned in yours. Delete mine if you see fit to do so.
